Listening to Velile and Safri Duo on Radio Paradise

How can this toe tapping song have a sub 5 rating. (4.8 at the moment) This is a solid 8 in my book. Once again thank you to Bill and Mrs Bill for the amazing variety here on RP

Probably a 6 or 7, but gave it a 10 just because I can only assume the very low ratings from so many must have to do with bad memories related to their teams not winning the world cup.

Upping my rating on this tune.

Maybe a PTSD button for those determined to relive the same thing over and over?

Off the beaten track and I like it.
As another poster noted, sight of the lyrics often turns me off a song but no danger here as more incomprehensible then usual.
Superb percussion - check out the Safri Duo.

Over 40 listeners gives this a 1 ?? Such an amazing voice, such a power in this voice, so high quality of this production and such a seduction to move.

It could be, the one or the other is toe tapping in the moment he rates the 1.

I am glad, Bill is not of that kind and has this title in a steady rotation since the upload, like he does with other low rated, but good songs. Thank you, Bill and Rebecca, I have seen so many times, that we are in the best hands with both of you.

At the heart of RP is variation and eclecticism. Every day listening to RP brings something new.

Isn't a 4.2 rating enough to get this OFF rotation....PLEASE! It's horrible! There are SO many other tracks in this genre that blow this away.

I'm a great fan of African music, but this sounds more like Europop to me.

Very surprised to hear Eurodisco tune on RP (hell, even here in Europe you can't hear eurodisco often). Not a big fan, but once in a month or so is nice. 6/10 from me.

THANK YOU for bringing a little more Eurodisco to RP. For the haters, do keep in mind not all listeners are Stateside. Give me nice melodies, foreign lyrics, and a pleasing rythm that induces bopping around the living room, this fits the bill. Nice addition to the bountiful repertoire of RP.
